Overall Experience

We have always found all the staff very friendly and always able to answer any queries we have. Our only slight criticism is not always informed about appointments being made as unfortunately my dad's family do not live locally it would be appreciated a quick phone call. Dad always looks clean and also

his clothes. Room and bedding clean and tidy as Dad is bed bound this is important. Staff try very hard for Dad to join in activities and outings which unfortunately Dad does not want to do but nice to think he is included if he wanted to participate.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.267)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.267) out of 10 for Ashbury is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

The Average Rating of 4.500 for Ashbury is calculated as follows: ( (17 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 32 Ratings = 4.5
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

The 3.767 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbury is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
- i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
- ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.8 = 0.517
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
